The snow does not melt all year round, and the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and it is already summer, and the ice and snow are still just beginning to melt. The mountain stream flows slowly with crushed ice, washing away the brightly colored pebbles on both banks. The pine forest is full of sparkling ice crystals, and at a glance, it looks like the scenery of the north.

Xiao Shao walked through the plum blossom array at the foot of the mountain and walked towards the Luyang Villa on the top of the mountain.

The plum blossom array is a formation laid out by Mr. Baqi himself, a total of eight rings, spreading from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, except for the disciples of this sect, outsiders can not break the formation. Xiao Shao has been here many times, but he is familiar with the road. Fang entered the gate outside the Lvyang Villa, and the green-haired parrot raised at the door began to flap its wings and shout loudly: "Someone is coming!" Someone's coming! ”

Different from the scenery on the Canaan Mountain, the Lvyang Villa is full of birds and flowers, and a hundred flowers are blooming, which is really like early spring. Xiao Shao walked towards the villa, the huge villa was exquisitely repaired, but it was empty. After a while, a deep voice came from the courtyard: "Ah Shao? ”

The melodious voice was like a bell, close to the ear, and if you listened carefully, it seemed to come from a long distance, ethereal. Xiao Shao walked towards the courtyard. I saw a white-bearded old man in a gray shirt sitting at the chess table under the pear blossom tree, holding a box of chess pieces in his hand.

"Master." Xiao Shao walked towards him.

This gray-clothed old man is Mr. Baqi, who is now in his prime, born with the appearance of a fairy wind and bones, but his eyes are shrewd and wise. He didn't raise his head, concentrated on studying the chess game in front of him, and said, "Coming back from southern Xinjiang?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Shao said. After returning from southern Xinjiang, he was busy dealing with various things on weekdays, and Mr. Baqi was still in retreat, but he only found an opportunity to go to Canaan Mountain in the past few days, and it was time for Mr. Baqi to go out of the customs.

Mr. Yaki put down the chess box in his hand and finally raised his head. Mr. Baqi accepted a total of eight disciples, and Xiao Shao ranked third. When Xiao Shao went up the mountain, he was just a silent young man who didn't like to talk, and together with Guan Lianghan, Guan Lianghan learned to march and set up formations, and Xiao Shao learned the art of Qi Huang. However, within a few years, Lao Jinying and his wife had an accident, and Xiao Shao's temperament became more cold and took the initiative to ask Mr. Baqi, no longer learning medical skills, and only learning to kill people from then on.

Xiao Shao is extremely talented, and he is the material for martial arts, and he is even more handy when it is convenient for him to kill. In the first year after completing his studies, he went deep into southern Xinjiang alone and cut off the head of the leader of southern Xinjiang at that time. He has a cold temperament and is quite bold, and he kills with a knife, and he has no worries. There is no one in the world who is more suitable to be a killer than Xiao Shao, but Mr. Baqi only said at the time: "Ah Shao, you are not the number one killer in the world." Xiao Shao asked, "Why?" ”

Mr. Yaki replied, "Your blood is not cold enough. ”

Xiao Shao is the most affectionate, Mr. Baqi understands that although Xiao Shao is cold on weekdays, he will take care of his brothers most of the time. The righteous shall not be a killer. Xiao Shao is not a good killer.

Mr. Baqi looked at Xiao Shao for a while, and suddenly asked, "Ah Shao, have you met any special people in the past few years?" ”

When Xiao Shao left Beijing three years ago, Mr. Baqi was still in retreat, and he never said goodbye to him, so the master and apprentice had not seen each other for three years.

Xiao Shao thought for a while: "No." ”

"Think about it." Mr. Yagi asked again.

Xiao Shao frowned slightly, there is no word "special" in his life, he has met countless people in the past three years, so he naturally doesn't know what Mr. Lu Dao Baqi means?

"Master, what do you want to say?" Xiao Shao asked.

Mr. Baqi stroked the long white beard on his chin and said, "Before the retreat three years ago, the person who had calculated a hexagram for you and changed your life should have already appeared. ”

"Who?" Xiao Shao asked.

"This man has come for revenge, and for revenge, he has lived and died, and he has died. In this world, she can see clearly, the destiny of heaven has changed because of her, and she doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse as a teacher. ”

Xiao Shao was silent, Mr. Baqi's words were too vague to understand anything. He thought for a moment before he spoke, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Mr. Baqi's expression was slightly restrained: "She is entangled with your life, and she has her own cause and effect. Because of her appearance, you will get rid of the lonely life in this life, and then, the fate will become a prince and general, and the purple micro star will fall. You have ruined the emperor's life for her."

If this word spreads, you will have to lose your head. However, Luyang Villa was empty, Mr. Baqi said leisurely, and Xiao Shao listened frankly.

"I see." Xiao Shao replied. The emperor's order was redundant to him, he had never looked at that position, and his expression had not changed in the slightest since Mr. Yaqi finished speaking.

Mr. Yagi sighed, "She has appeared." ”

Xiao Shao frowned slightly. However, Mr. Baqi never said the hexagram too clearly, the so-called heavenly machine cannot be revealed, and if too much heavenly opportunity is leaked, it will inevitably be retributed.

Mr. Baqi said: "Let's go, the hexagram is revealed, the teacher still has a relationship with her, and one day, the teacher can also see her, and at that time, the cycle of cause and effect in this person's previous life will appear." He paused, as if he had something else to say, and finally swallowed it. Just looked at Xiao Shao and said, "Southern Xinjiang Gu is poisonous and ferocious, can you be tricked?" ”

"No," Xiao Shao said, "Master's antidote is still there." When Xiao Shao said this, his heart slightly floated with gratitude to Mr. Baqi. At the beginning, he was dedicated to learning the way of killing, and he wanted to discard the original Qihuang technique. It was Mr. Yaqi who personally refused, and taught him not to delay his hands. Since ancient times, there have been no killers studying medicine, and it is unheard of to save people while killing people. Now it seems that his task is dangerous, and what he does on weekdays is all about licking blood from the knife edge, and he has one more medical skill in his body, and he has provided a lot of convenience for walking over the years.

Mr. Yaqi smiled and said: "It's still early, since you're here, let's have a game with the teacher first." After saying that, he waved his sleeves slightly, and all the chess pieces on the chessboard flew into the chess box, which was extremely neat and orderly, and none of them fell.

Mr. Baqi picked up a white child, Xiao Shao held a black child, and the two fell at the same time.

"I warned you for the teacher, seize the opportunity." Mr. Yaki's voice could be heard in the distance.

……

The sound of cicadas chirping in the summer afternoon was so noisy that people couldn't rest well, a few third-class maids climbed to the trees in the yard to stick the cicadas, Jiang Ruanfang ate a night of chilled sherbet, and then heard the dew drop come over and said: "Girl, Lord Xiahou and the Eighth Prince are coming to the house, and the lord is asking you to go over to talk to the ladies and dependents." ”

Xia Cheng has never been to the Jiang Mansion since the incident in the ancestral hall, and Xia Jun's matter is a thorn in the heart of the Xia family. Jiang Ruan has been away from Beijing for three years, listening to what Lu Zhu said, several grandmothers who want to come to the Xia family also came, Xia Jiaojiao and Xia Jun hated Jiang Ruan like a thorn in their eyes, and at this time they actually stepped into the Jiang Mansion again, and it seems that the relationship between the Xia family and the Jiang family has eased in the past three years.

Dew Drop hurriedly said, "What do you mean, sir?" The self-owned lady who is talking outside, what can the girl do? Does the Xia family have a good relationship? ”

Jiang Ruan shook his head: "It's okay, Tianzhu, how was the doctor a few days ago?" ”

"Xia Yan sent someone to chase and kill, was rescued by his subordinates, and now he is locked up by his subordinates in the barn in the courtyard of his subordinates, but the girl wants to use it?"

"Ready," Jiang Ruan stood up: "Today, she has found the Xia family, it just so happens that I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time." ”

In the main hall, Jiang Quan is talking to Xuanli Xia Cheng, in the past few years, Xuanli has been diligent, has outstanding political achievements, and is used to being a man on weekdays. In the past few years, the emperor who was angry because of Li An's affairs has gradually changed his opinion of him, and Chen Guiren has become more and more favored by him, and in recent years, the five princes have gradually fallen behind, and the call for Xuan Leave has gradually risen again. The crown prince has made mistakes repeatedly, and the matter of abolishing the prince is about to be put on the charter, but it is only a matter of time or time. And the matter of changing the crown prince has also become a major concern of today's courtiers, and those who can occupy the team occupy their own team. Obviously, the Xia family and the Jiang family are naturally on the side of the Eight Princes.

Xuanli smiled gently, and his words were humble and full of ambition, and the more Xia Cheng and Jiang Quan looked at it, the more they felt that their choice was right. Xuanli has the talent of the world, and at that time he was the only lord today.

On the other side, Xia Yan was talking with Shen Rou, the eldest grandmother of the Xia family, Shen Rou looked at Xia Yan's belly and said with a smile: "Grandma's belly is becoming more and more pregnant, when I was pregnant with Jiaojiao, it wasn't so big, maybe it's a twin." ”

Xia Yan's face stiffened, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, the twins, her children had already died, how could the twins only say that as long as they thought of the miscarriage that night, Xia Yan couldn't wait to tear Hongying and Jiang Ruan to pieces. Although I don't know how the two silk fish silk were exchanged, it is certain that it must have been the hands and feet of these two people. Xia Yan's eyes flashed slightly, laugh, let them laugh, and they won't be able to cry after a while.

Although Shen Rou is already a woman who has given birth, her appearance is becoming more and more beautiful and plump, and she has a bit of the style of a young woman. In this way, Xia Yan, who had just given birth, had a sallow face, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

Shen Rou looked at Xia Yan, and was also very suspicious in her heart, Xia Yan should be doing well in the Jiang Mansion now, how could he look so haggard. Where is there still the original elegant and indifferent talented girl, and then think about the rumors that Jiang Quan prefers the aunt who was born in the Qinglou in Fuzhong, and I know it. I don't think I have the ability to tie my man's heart. Shen Rou has never been able to see Xia Yanqing's tall and generous appearance, but now that she sees it, she has a few words of comfort on the surface, but she gloates in her heart.

The girl on the other side suddenly said loudly: "Why hasn't Jiang Ruan been here yet, could it be that this is the Jiang family's hospitality?" "This girl is wearing a light purple moire crepe robe, a smoky butterfly skirt. The flowers and moons are very delicate, but unfortunately they are a little irritable between the words, it is from the Xia family's big house, Shen Rou's biological daughter Xia Jiaojiao.

"The county lord didn't receive a post from his wife earlier, and he didn't hear about coming to accompany him, and he didn't know that there were guests coming to Lu Dao, so how could he treat him?" The voice sounded from outside the door, and several people in the room looked up to see Jiang Ruan coming.

Xia Jiaojiao bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes stared at Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan was dressed in a simple Su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt, her skin was better than snow, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her eyes were amazing. Xia Jiaojiao originally had a seven-point appearance, but under Jiang Ruan's comparison, there was less than one percent. Xia Jiaojiao was annoyed, and what made people even more angry was the ridicule in Jiang Ruan's words. But isn't it, they haven't made a post here, and they have never said that they want Jiang Ruan to accompany them, and now they are still strange and late, so they don't take care of it.

"Ruan'er, you're here. Jiaojiao has wanted to see you for a long time. Xia Yan smiled and diverted the topic, muttering a little in her heart, she originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to invite Jiang Ruan out, she also thought of some reasons, but she never thought that none of these reasons would be used, Jiang Ruan readily agreed to come. But it's just right for her next move.

Xia Jiaojiao pursed her lips, she didn't care about Xia Yan's words, Shen Rou was also looking at Jiang Ruan carefully, when Jiang Ruan came to Xia Mansion, she only thought that Jiang Ruan was an orphan girl who was easy to handle, but it was this girl who looked at Xia Jun who was easy to handle, and she was stunned to make Xia Jun suffer. Now he has become the lord of the dynasty. In the past three years, I heard that she was quite popular with the Queen Mother, and I thought that she should be rewarded with a lot of silver. Shen Rou made a calculation in his heart, Xia Cheng intended to tell Jiang Ruan to Xia Jun, firstly, Xia Jun was obsessed with the original matter, and vowed to marry Jiang Ruan over the years, and secondly, the power behind Jiang Ruan Whoever marries is a big help, not to mention that there may be a large sum of money.

However, Shen Rou has always been at odds with Yu Ya, the second grandmother of the Xia family, and the relationship between the concubines is extremely poor. Naturally, she didn't want Xia Jun to have a good life, so Shen Rou thought about it, instead of cheapening Xia Jun, it would be better to cheapen her own brother. Shen Rou's mother also has a nephew, and now he is getting married to Jiang Ruan, if it is done, it can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Shen Rouwu had a good calculation for herself, and looked at Jiang Ruan's gaze with a strange fanaticism. Tianzhu frowned, and Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "This is Mrs. Xia." ”

"Exactly. Ruan'er, I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye. Shen Rou said warmly.

"Bold! When I saw the county lord, I didn't salute! Tianzhu snorted with a cold face, startling Shen Rou.

Jiang Ruan said gently: "It's okay, Mrs. Xia once had a relationship with me, and I think it was because I was too excited to forget about it." It's okay. ”

This answer made Shen Rou's face turn red and white, white and red. Everyone could see clearly when Jiang Ruan was in the ancestral hall, but now the old thing is brought up, but it is the Xia family who is slapped in the face.

Xia Yan's face couldn't hold it, and Xia Jiaojiao was even more angry, but remembering her grandfather's instructions before leaving, she endured it again.

Xia Yan suddenly bent down, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and retched twice, Linlang hurriedly patted Xia Yan's back gently, and said, "Madame, is she uncomfortable again?" ”

Xia Yan shook his head: "Xu is the room is too stuffy, and his chest is a little blocked." She smiled: "Jiaojiao, sister-in-law, Ruan'er, why don't we go to the garden and take a look around, the air outside is fresh." ”

Jiang Ruan looked out the window, it was a hot day, cloudless, and he was really not afraid of getting prickly heat at this time. However, she smiled and said, "Yes, I want to go for a walk in the garden too." ”

Shen Rou and Xia Jiaojiao are guests, so naturally they will not refuse. The three of them got up together and walked towards the Xia Yan Garden. In all fairness, although it was hot outside, Xia Yan didn't dare to use ice because she was pregnant, so she had to make a fuss in the yard. The courtyard was clean and tidy, and every half an hour someone sprinkled the stone slabs with cold water from the well, and the shade of the bushes made it cool. It's much better ventilated than in the house.

As they walked, they walked to the gazebo next to the small pond in the courtyard. The gazebo is Xia Yan's most proud handwriting, Xia Yan once had the name of a talented woman in Beijing, and the yard after entering the Jiang Mansion was made by himself, and the pavilion was next to the small pond, taking the summer "lotus pond moonlight" scene. The cool breeze of the summer night is breezy, the lotus leaves are green all over the pond, the lotus flowers are delicate, the moonlight is like water, and the scenery is extremely elegant. After this pavilion was repaired, Jiang Quan loved it very much. often drinks with Xia Yan and Xia Yan in the pavilion at night, and they serve a team of loving couples.

Jiang Ruan sneered silently in his heart, this place is the place where Jiang Quan and Xia Yan are in love, but it is also Zhao Mei's sad place at the beginning. Jiang Xinzhi once had smallpox when he was young, Zhao Mei guarded Jiang Xinzhi for a few days and nights, Jiang Xinzhi woke up and asked where his father was, Zhao Mei felt sour in his heart, and found Jiang Quan was drinking and having fun with Xia Yan. At that time, she was still a child who didn't understand anything, and she only looked at Jiang Quan and Xia Yan's happy laughter, and felt more and more dazzling of her mother's tears. Jiang Ruan looked at the gazebo, smiled slightly, and said, "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is open to both sides of the face." ”

When Zhao Mei took the young Jiang Ruan to Yanhuayuan, he heard Jiang Quan, who was proud of the spring breeze, chanting to the gentle and graceful Xia Yan, and the tenderness and affection in his eyes were something that their mother and daughter had never seen.

Xia Yan was slightly stunned and laughed: "Ruan'er, your father also loves to chant these two lines of poetry the most." ”

Shen Rou rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "If you want me to say, my aunt and grandmother will really enjoy it, such a good place, but it is difficult to find it in our house with lanterns." ”

Xia Jiaojiao interjected at the right time: "Naturally, my aunt was the first talented woman in the capital in the past, and naturally she was incomparable to ordinary mountain women." Xia Jiaojiao always thought that Jiang Ruan was raised in Zhuangzi, and when she was a child, she was raised by Zhao Mei, who didn't understand poetry, so she was naturally a person who didn't understand literature and ink. Jiang Ruan only didn't hear it, still smiling lightly, Xia Jiaojiao saw this, and became more and more annoyed.

Xia Yan suddenly became a little sad: "Speaking of which, it's been more than ten years. When my sister was still there, I also praised this pavilion for its beauty. Ruan'er, now that you are so old, you are almost at the age of saying goodbye, you grew up in Zhuangzi, I am afraid that no one will educate you in the rules, my mother wants to find a nurturing grandmother for you to come by, okay? ”

Jiang Ruan tilted his head to stare at her, and suddenly smiled: "Mother, where are you talking about, isn't the upbringing grandmother next to the queen mother?" ”

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think of this, and he was a little speechless for a while. However, he couldn't help but continue at the beginning, so he grabbed Jiang Ruan's hand with one hand and gently persuaded: "Niang Zhilu said that you are a good person and a smart one. But the upbringing in the palace taught you the rules of the palace, and you will marry in the future, so you naturally have to learn the rules of being a wife. ”

Jiang Ruan looked at her with a smile, and Xia Yan was a little flustered when he saw it in those smiling eyes. Her eyes widened suddenly, and she said in a loud voice: "Ruan'er, what are you doing!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yan's body fell back suddenly, as if Jiang Ruan pushed her hard, and it happened to be facing the steps of the pavilion again, when she heard a sound, Xia Yan fell heavily under the steps.

"Ahh With a scream, Xia Yan's lower body was suddenly stained red, and his clothes were soaked with blood.

"Jiang Ruan!" A voice full of anger and fright came from the opposite side, and Jiang Ruan looked up to see that Jiang Quan, Xia Cheng, and Xuan Li were standing opposite the pavilion. Jiang Quan's eyes were vicious and angry, as if he was going to eat her.

Jiang Ruan stroked the bracelet on his hand, and a smile of unknown meaning rose on the corner of his lips.

The turtle stuck its head out.
